Public Act 100-0651
 
HB4213 EnrolledLRB100 14938 RJF 29764 b


  
    AN ACT concerning State government.
  
 
    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
 
represented in the General Assembly:
  
 
 
    Section 1. Legislative intent. Saving money and cutting 
costs on behalf of Illinois taxpayers is an important aspect 
when considering potential legislation. To that end, the 
General Assembly looks for avenues in which to save taxpayers' 
money by finding ways to simplify or refine certain State 
operations. Under current State policy, State-owned motor 
vehicles are required to undergo an oil change every 
3,000-5,000 miles, regardless of whether an oil change may 
truly be required given that vehicle's make and model. It is 
the intent of the General Assembly with this legislation to 
reduce the frequency of needless oil changes to State-owned 
vehicles, and the expenses that go along with them, and reduce 
the frequency with which such expenses are passed on to the 
taxpayers.
 
    Section 5. The Department of Central Management Services 
Law of the
Civil Administrative Code of Illinois is amended  by 
changing Section 405-280 as follows:
 



    (20 ILCS 405/405-280)  (was 20 ILCS 405/67.15)



    Sec. 405-280. State garages; passenger cars. 
    (a) To supervise and
administer all State garages used for

the repair, maintenance, or servicing of State-owned motor 
vehicles
except those operated by any State college or 
university or by the Illinois
Mathematics and Science Academy; 
and to acquire, maintain, and administer
the operation of the 
passenger cars reasonably necessary to the operations
of the 
executive department of the State government.  To this end, the

Department shall adopt regulations setting
forth guidelines 
for the acquisition, use, maintenance, and replacement of
motor 
vehicles, including the use of ethanol blended gasoline 
whenever
feasible, used by the executive department of State 
government;
shall
occupy the space and take possession of the 
personnel, facilities,
equipment, tools, and vehicles that are 
in the possession or
under the
administration of the former 
Department of Administrative Services for these
purposes on 
July 13, 1982 (the effective date of Public Act 82-789); and 
shall,
from time to time, acquire any further, additional, and

replacement
facilities, space, tools, and vehicles that are 
reasonably
necessary for
the purposes described in this 
Section.
    (a-5) Notwithstanding any State policy or rule to the 
contrary, any State-owned motor vehicle requiring maintenance 
in the form of an oil change shall have such maintenance 
performed according to the applicable Department policy which 
considers the manufacturer's suggested oil change frequency 
for that vehicle's particular make, model, and year. The 
Department shall evaluate the original equipment 
manufacturer's oil change interval recommendations and other 
related impacts periodically and consider policy adjustments 
as is cost and operationally efficient for the State. 
    (b) The Department shall evaluate the availability and cost 
of GPS systems that State agencies may be able to use to track 
State-owned motor vehicles.
    (c) The Department shall distribute a spreadsheet or 
otherwise make data entry available to each State agency to 
facilitate the collection of data for publishing on the 
Department's Internet website. Each State agency shall 
cooperate with the Department in furnishing the data necessary 
for the implementation of this subsection within the timeframe 
specified by the Department. Each State agency shall be 
responsible for the validity and accuracy of the data provided. 
Beginning on July 1, 2013, the Department shall make available 
to the public on its Internet website the following 
information:
        (1) vehicle cost data, organized by individual vehicle 
    and by State agency, and including repair, maintenance, 
    fuel, insurance, and other costs, as well as whether 
    required vehicle inspections have been performed; and
        (2) an annual vehicle breakeven analysis, organized by 
    individual vehicle and by State agency, comparing the 
    number of miles a vehicle has been driven with the total 
    cost of maintaining the vehicle.
    (d) Beginning on the effective date of this amendatory Act 
of the 97th General Assembly, and notwithstanding any provision 
of law to the contrary, the Department may not make any new 
motor vehicle purchases until the Department sets forth 
procedures to condition the purchase of new motor vehicles on  
(i) a determination of need based on a breakeven analysis, and 
(ii) a determination that no other available means, including 
car sharing or rental agreements, would be more cost-effective 
to the State. However, the Department may purchase motor 
vehicles not meeting or exceeding a breakeven analysis only if 
there is no alternative available to carry out agency work 
functions and the purchase is approved by the Manager of the 
Division of Vehicles upon the receipt of a written explanation 
from the agency head of the operational needs justifying the 
purchase.
